Dawn strikes the mountains rising above St. Mary’s Lake in Montana’s Glacier National Park. When the park was created in 1910, it had 150 glaciers. Now it has 30 glaciers, significantly reduced in size.

Many of the world’s freshwater glaciers are shrinking, as warming temperatures melt them away. Some have disappeared all together. The glaciers on both Mount Everest and Mount Kilimanjaro are among those glaciers noticeably decreasing as temperatures climb, causing lower-lying towns considerable worry.

And when they all melt away then will humanity (if it still exists) say this is a crisis that needs to be 'solved now' when it is too late? Will we still be 'debating' it?

    • I don't recall anyone in this thread stating it was just a warming world, though that is the topic of the post. I can surely find pictures of pollution and post them too... And is not posting these images on Current also doing something bout it? Obviously though, if people keep redlighting important information just because they don't like the messenger it won't get seen. And I am doing something about it. Tell that to our politicians and presidential candidates who think it is more important to raise millions of dollars for their egos and make empty promises instead of doing something about it.

    • Its not just a "warming world". It is an air and water and landfill polluted world that all we ever do is just talk about and we put off doing anything about it.

      We let companies declare bankruptcy, and then go back into business under a new name, to get out of labor agreements and to try and not be held accountable for their pollution crimes.
